Health & Well-being

  WOW oh WOW! What a ride it has been from the darkest nights to the brightest days (and everything in between) And now this… “Hi Shayne, Congratulations! I am…

“Be messy and complicated and afraid and show up anyway.” Glennon Doyle Life’s been a roller coaster the last few years and especially the last few months since my baby brother…

It’s always a mental, physical and spiritual high being away from home. To travel the world is the greatest drug I’ve ever experienced and like all other drugs, caffeine included…

How to benefit from conflict.

This has been the most challenging time of my life, and everything and everyone has amplified in the process. I have been somewhat recluse to my former self, going through a metamorphosis more powerful than ever before. But one must always remember.

Today before the hustle and bustle of New Year’s celebrations, although mine will be very intimate, I am taking the day to reflect (self-inquiry) on 2017 and all that it…

Ahhhh! Resistance, that bullshit mind chatter again… For me writing has been in me to give since I can remember, however with it also came resistance and resistance showed up…

And herein lies the truth; and the truth has begun to set me free, the truth enables me every day to become more alive, more present, more joyful, to live a vivid life. Not without pain or suffering but with the understanding that amongst it all, who I am and to facilitate, to explore it all, to go to the depths of inquiry to find that place that has no past, no future, the guiding light.

I don’t believe in hocus pocus and I do (Jury’s out). It’s a constant struggle with me. Wounded and distorted by the New Age movement or what my dear friend Jeff Brown calls “New Cage”. I have grown skeptical and even quite cynical of anything that suggests hocus pocus.

Are you exhausted with it all? The constant dress rehearsal for a future that doesn’t belong to you.
One that in spite of all the suffering; the long nights, the early mornings, the daunting drives, the cubicle, the ego driven bully boss, to live a life that’s comfortable in the future. A future you might never even make it to.

I LOVE this. Because I like to smoke sometimes and I have been shamed for it, and told it causes cancer… but so does worrying about it (stress) I do…

Photo by Michael Shannon Most recently I have really been challenged with the thought of who “likes” and or supports me and who doesn’t. It’s not a new thought, but it’s…

There I am planting a Marula Tree at a rural school in South Africa. I never would have imagined this kid from the ghetto with his feet firmly planted in…

Our conditioning runs so deep. Being defined by what we do, how busy we are, how much we’ve accomplished. We get so wrapped up in doing we forget about being and being is who we are.

I was listening to a podcast this morning on anxiety, the stigma, and the people who are brave enough to speak up. I also happened to watch a video that’s…

As we evolved as human beings our thoughts became more and more complex, as did everything else.

So we all have a desire to be seen. To know that we’re being listened to, that we matter. It’s part of the human condition. Condition(ing) being the key.

I just woke up, my head is pounding, the sound of construction and the debris it tosses around is filling my sinuses with dirt and I just want to take…
